58977 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: How much, if anything, was spent on assessors of the claims made to the Ministry of Social Development’s historic claims process in the 24/25 financial year?

Hon Louise Upston: I am advised by the Ministry of Social Development (the Ministry) that around 90% ($10.895m) of all staffing costs for the Historic Claims team can either be directly or indirectly attributed to the assessment of claims.
